Crazy to see Ricky and Payne being nearly the same age. Ricky was drafted 6 years ago, Payne last year. Plus, Rubio has been a pro for a few years prior to that.

Man Tyus is young, will be a teen all season - if no playoffs(cue Jim Mora).

Garnett has been in the nba for the entire lifetimes of rookies Karl-Anthony Towns and Tyus Jones

Budinger is only 27? Seems like we have been waiting that long for him to stay healthy!

Crazy to think Tanguy Ngombo will turn 41 on July 18. Seems like just yesterday we drafted him.

The way most people talk about Rubio, they think he's 29-30. He's still only 24. That's amazing. Even without being a homer, how could this NOT be the most talented roster under 25? Maybe the Bucks or Magic could make their cases. But I think MIN has the best group of talent under 25.

If you lower the number to 20 and under, we EASILY have the best young core.

Looks like the most dangerous rule to the Wolves is underage drinking!

I really think the Wolves have a good balance of experience and youth. Starters and contributors like Garnett, Martin, and Pek being older with NBA middle age/experinace in guys like Bjelica, Rubio, Buddinger and Dieng and the upcoming stars who are so young in Wiggins, Towns, Levine, Mohammed, and Jones. This team should compete right away and be set to win very soon. The only major contributor ON the floor who is on the decline would be Pek(due to injury) and Marrtin(who could help for several years due to playing style) means there is nothing but a bright future for this squad as currently composed.

BREAKING: Kevin Garnett no longer the oldest player on the team.

Not old enough.

Flip is really slipping with these signings. He couldn't do any better than a 35-year-old SF? I mean Prigs and Terry were both available a couple weeks ago. Our average age is going to be much too low if he keeps making subpar moves like this.

Next signing Ray Allen.

I think we should bring him in as a mentor to Tayshaun Prince, Tanguy will be a grizzled veteran by now.

You're doing it wrong.

Tayshaun Prince - 940 games
Tanguy Ngombo - 0 gammes

Nice try though...

I hear that... I was a kid watching wolves games before Tyus was born.
